Digital Purchase GeoAudiences
Transform real online purchasing behavior into scalable, privacy-safe geographic audiences.
Built from observed ecommerce transactions across a broad online ecosystem, NIQ’s Digital Purchase GeoAudiences help advertisers identify where demand exists, focus media investments more effectively, and uncover growth opportunities across categories, brands, and retailers.
Targeting based on consumer demand
Digital Purchase GeoAudiences allow marketers to create market-level blueprints of consumer demand, based on real online purchase data, down to the postal code level.
Unlike datasets that rely on a single retailer, loyalty program, or consumer panel requiring significant modelling, NIQ’s Digital Purchase GeoAudiences are built on observed transactions across a broad ecosystem of online retailers. This provides a more representative and scalable view of how consumers purchase goods across the digital marketplace.
NIQ can identify real local demand signals across a variety of categories, including:
Retail
Technology
Subscriptions
Ecommerce
Telecom
DTC Brands
Travel
Financial Services
Online Marketplace
Automotive
Entertainment
Taxonomy
NIQ’s Digital Purchase GeoAudience taxonomy is structured around four primary audience types:
Brand Purchase
Postcodes that over-index for specific brands where sufficient scale exists.
Retailer Audiences
Postcodes that over-index for specific retailers, marketplaces, platforms, or ecommerce destinations.
Category Purchases
Postcodes that over-index for online purchases within a category.
Category Interests (Centre of Interest Segments)
Geographic areas that over-index for specific subjects of interest, built from data including newsletters, subscriptions, and digital purchases.
Market Availability
At launch, NIQ’s Digital Purchase GeoAudiences are available exclusively through The Trade Desk in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and the U.K.
Depending on the market, NIQ utilizes between 3 and 5 years of historical data to identify the top-performing areas within each country.
